Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Radiation‐induced hypothyroidism follows head and neck radiotherapy due to oxidative stress and inflammation. Electrospun polycaprolactone scaffolds containing adenosine have potential to modulate thyroid repair. Scaffolds enhance thyrocyte proliferation, antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase and catalase, reduce senescence and apoptosis markers ...

Serotonin activates dermal papilla cells and promotes hair growth
Scientific ReportsSerotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is a neurotransmitter that plays a vital role in regulating behavior, mood, memory, and gastrointestinal homeostasis. Although recent studies have identified an intestine-hair follicle link, potentially implicating 5-

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We developed a bioinspired mechano‐intelligent Janus bandage (MIB) with a hydrophobic flat exterior and a hydrophilic interior featuring gecko‐mimicking wedged microstructures, fabricated via micromolding and anisotropic plasma treatment. The MIB dynamically synchronizes adhesion and contraction, enabling precise force modulation.
